What more could any young reporter hope for from his first real job? The night Mark Leiren-Young drove into Williams Lake, British Columbia, in 1985 to work as a reporter for the venerableWilliams Lake Tribune, he arrived on the scene of an armed robbery.

From the explosive opening, where Mark finds himself in a courtroom just a few feet away from a defendant with a bomb strapped to his chest, to the case of a plane that crashed without its pilot on board,Never Shoot a Stampede Queenis an unforgettable comic memoir of a city boy learning aboutand learning to lovelife in a cowboy town. Editorial Reviews: Never Shoot a Stampede Queen isnt just sound advice, its also the most fun Ive had this year. God does not subtract from ones allotted span the hours spent reading books as wise, warm and witty as this City Mouses comic memoir of his years in the Countryof another planet. Indeed, the residents of remote Williams Lake, in the heart of the Cariboo, satisfy science fiction editor John W. Campbells classic definition of alien creatures: They think as well as a human being, but not like one. Mark Leiren-Young is a natural storyteller, a peer of writers like Stephen Leacock, W. O. Mitchell, Jack Douglas and W. P. Kinsella: Quietly hilarious, effortlessly moving, and always surprising. Like them, he makes it look easy. (Spider Robinson, co-author (with Robert A.
